Conduct: Mr Louis Francis (“Mr Francis”) caused Tinted London Ltd (“TL”) to breach the terms and conditions of the Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) scheme by overstating its turnover in an application to obtain a BBL of £50,000 and in addition, failed to ensure all the funds were used for the economic benefit of the business as required. In that: • During the Covid-19 pandemic, the UK Government introduced the Bounce Back Loan (“BBL”) Scheme. Under the BBL scheme rules, a company that was carrying on business on 01 March 2020 was eligible to apply for one BBL of 25% of its 2019 calendar year turnover, up to a maximum of £50,000. When making an application for a BBL, an applicant had to self-certify the company’s 2019 calendar year turnover. Where a company commenced trading after 01 January 2019, the applicant was entitled to provide a reasonable estimate of Company annual turnover based on its turnover from commencement of trading. • BBL funds must be used the economic benefit of the business. • TL was incorporated on 26 November 2019. Mr Francis was appointed as director on 26 November 2019, and he was the sole director from 26 November 2019 until TL entered Liquidation on 17 July 2023. • On 12 May 2020 Mr Francis applied for a £50,000 BBL from a Lender on behalf of the Company. On the application he stated the Company’s turnover was £218,000. The BBL was credited to TL’s bank account on 12 May 2020. • As TL was established after 01 January 2019 the Company could use an estimated turnover when applying for the BBL. • Bank analysis shows that TL’s account was credited with £500 between 16 January 2020 and 12 May 2020. • No evidence has been provided to show how the estimated turnover figure was calculated. • On 12 May 2020, the BBL of £50,000 was paid into the Company account. • Between 25 February 2022 to 04 October 2022 the total sum of £35,979.96 was paid to an associated company. No evidence has been provided to show that these payments, funded by the BBL, were for the economic benefit of TL. • The BBL remains outstanding. The lender is a creditor in the Company’s liquidation in the sum of £46,468.77 in respect of the BBL.
